Read John Apice's glowing review of My Reward in Americana Highways. It starts: "With a folk voice as gruff as Jon Dee Graham & Dave Van Ronk, Antonio Andrade has a sincere delivery that’s a bit retro & still sings of Vietnam & other past indulgences with a 60s folky element. If he wasn’t effective & striking in this entertaining manner, he’d be a novelty. But he isn’t. He channels the seriousness of the original folk artists through his own music with assertiveness & striking words."

Wildfire Music + News editor Hannah Means-Shannon wrote: “We’re very pleased to premier Antonio Andrade’s title track, “My Reward” today on Wildfire Music + News. It’s a song that definitely shows that Andrade has been “working on his stories” as it intricately chronicles a musician’s life from the standpoint of his guitar. But more than that, it suggests the wider role that guitars have played, particularly in the social life of the 20th and 21st centuries as well as in the lives of all musicians.
“Though the lyrics and direct vocal delivery are important in this song, Andrade also allows the guitar parts to shine, naturally, and brings in some finesse showing off the versatility of the instrument. All in all, the song paints a sweet picture of the cohabiting life of a musician and his guitar and suggests a greater deal of appreciation ought to be given to this faithful friend of ours.”
